[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○... "Back to Number 2."

Jon Rahm (Spain, photo) returned to the No. 2 spot in the official weekly golf world rankings announced on the afternoon of the 25th (Korean time) with a score of 7.85 points. 'Masters Champion' Scottie Scheffler remains No. 1 (9.91 points), while Collin Morikawa (both from the United States) dropped to No. 3 (7.74 points). It is interesting that the Zurich Classic, a two-man team battle PGA Tour event (total prize money $8.3 million) that ended on the morning of the same day at Harbour Town Golf Links (par 71) in Hilton Head, South Carolina, USA, did not award any points.

Cameron Smith (Australia) is 4th, and Patrick Cantlay, who won his first victory of the 2022 season at the Zurich Classic alongside Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Xander Schauffele, actually dropped to 5th place. Viktor Hovland (Norway) is 6th, Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) 7th, and Justin Thomas (USA) 8th. South Korea has four players in the 'Top 100': Im Sung-jae (24) at 19th, Kim Si-woo (27) at 51st, Kim Joo-hyung (20) at 76th, and Lee Kyung-hoon (31, all from CJ Logistics) at 87th place.
